Abstract

The study is aimed to investigate the impact of yoga practice on physiological, biochemical, and psychological variables in middle-aged women diabetic Type 2 patients. 45 patients aged 45-65 years were selected from online workshops in Karnataka, India. They performed yoga practices for 60-75 minutes daily for 12 weeks, along with an ayurvedic diet. The results showed a significant reduction in blood sugar, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. The study recommends similar studies for other age groups and cardiac patients with hypertension conditions, combining yoga practice and an ayurvedic diet. The results suggest that yoga practices can improve blood sugar, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels in diabetic patients.
